Telling a story about ourselves may be one of the most intimate and personal things we can do. Through storytelling, we can come to know who we are in unforeseen ways. We can also create common ground for sharing stories that need to be told. This kind of storytelling needs to be grounded in feelings and experiences.
Through the medium of visual re-framing, we can begin to understand that images we hold of ourselves are often the embodiment of particular traumas, fears, losses, and/or unfulfilled hopes and desires. While telling our stories we can re-claim inner space, fragmented memories, fragmented selves, and reintegrate different parts of stories and ourselves so they can work in our interest.
